    Calculate Neutralizing Value: 3 Parts K2CO3

    I have am having trouble and I am a bit stumped on where to go. Looking to get help with calculating the neutralizing value 3 parts by weight of anhydrous potassium carbonate.

    Sodium Bicarbonate Thermal Decomposition

    Ok so it looks like pressure was actually more beneficial than vacuum for our process. Vacuum would be beneficial if the vessel was not so large for our process and the lack of intimate contact with the heating jacket seems to slow the process. Thank you for your help!

    Sodium Bicarbonate Thermal Decomposition

    Ok I was able today to try to conduct part of the experiment. I was not able to use a vacuum as our vacuum system was not working. I started out with 4g of sodium bicarb for both the pressure and "control" no pressure no vacuum step. I kept everything consistent Control- placed in vessel for 15...

    Sodium Bicarbonate Thermal Decomposition

    Yes but this is a change of state. Does this also apply to the decomposition of a substance?

    Sodium Bicarbonate Thermal Decomposition

    Borek, So if you were to take a guess vacuum would be the best option?

    Sodium Bicarbonate Thermal Decomposition

    Thank you for the help I thought that vacuum would be preferable and will see more tomorrow when I can continue the experiment just wanted to get an idea of the direction that would work best. Maintaining a vacuum will not be an issue -0.5 bar or more we can easily achieve as well as the vessel...

    Sodium Bicarbonate Thermal Decomposition

    I have a question about the thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). I need to use baking soda for an experiment but will not be using a burner to heat it. We are heating it to about 90-100C and I was wondering if we put vessel the baking soda is in under vacuum -0.5bar or...
